List of zero-(or super low) calorie drinks? So far I have ++

1. iced tea- plain
2. coffee- black
3, water with lemon wedge
4. flavored sparkling water
5. club soda

You could try zevia, it uses Stevia to sweeten, many don't have caffeine, and they're tasty. They're at Fred Meyer, trader joes new seasons, etc. and natural sparkling waters that specifically say they don't use fake sugars, like ones that use sugar alcohol instead (idk, my boyfriend is type 1 diabetic and won't drink fake sweeteners, but accepts those ones)
And, like everyone else says, water

95% of the time I drink plain water, but maybe once a week or so I want a caffeinated drink. So I've started keeping sugar-free instant drink mix on hand, the single-serve packets that are meant for a 16-20oz bottle of water. It's ok for an occasional indulgence, better than diet soda.

I drink water with a lemon slice and lots of ice, herbal tea, hot or cold sweetened with liquid stevia and of course water. I am working on giving up diet coke and am down to having just a few a month.

The herbal tea gives me a TON of flavor options.

I am trying to eliminate artificial sweeteners but that's a personal choice.

Make your own flavored water with fruit. All natural and none of the chemical sweetners.

Water, water, and more water...

You can slice up all kinds of fruits and some veggies for water. Ginger cinnamon and mint too. Let it set over night in the fridge. Amazing!!!

Hint water! It doesn't have junk in it.

Meh, water is for making ice to go in my bourbon

Water, Diet Water, H2O, Agua, WHATAH, Werter, anyone you wanna spell it say it write it.....WATER IS THE BEST! Stay away from the ASPARTAME, AND THAT LONG *kitten* WORD WITH THE P...Thats usually in bold letter...Phenilakline or something lol

LMAO @ "AND THAT LONG *kitten* WORD WITH THE P...Thats usually in bold letter...Phenilakline or something lol"

You Are Effing Hysterical! :laugh: :laugh:

My favorite is Vitamin water zero (Go-Go flavor). This is the one and only flavor of this that I like. I recommend it to everyone who doesn't like the other flavors because I don't either. It's sweetened with stevia (or truvia) so it's a natural sweetener.

If it's "Truvia" then it's likely got chemicals in it, they don't divulge what the "natural flavors" are on their ingredients list and it could be any number of 3,000 different chemicals that are allowed by the FDA under that heading, just like "fragrance" in beauty products.

Water, Diet Water, H2O, Agua, WHATAH, Werter, anyone you wanna spell it say it write it.....WATER IS THE BEST! Stay away from the ASPARTAME, AND THAT LONG *kitten* WORD WITH THE P...Thats usually in bold letter...Phenilakline or something lol

Yup!

Working on quitting Splenda. I find that if I have something sweet- even if it's not *real* sugar, I crave more sweets. It was explained to me in my anatomy/physiology class that it tricks your body into thinking you've ingested sugar when you having, so your body releases as much insulin as it normally would, causing you to crave more sugar. Could be wrong. And if I'm going to sweeten something, I'll use real sugar. Hard habit to break!

Good choice. Splenda/sucralose destroys healthy gut bacteria in mammalian lab tests by up to 50%. When you consider you have trillions upon trillions of gut bacteria and the average crappy yogurt filled iwth genetically modified ingredients (like those awful 0% SOURCE ones from Yoplait or whomever it is) only has around a million CFU's, you have to be eating a million of them every day to make up for what you're losing from sucralose. It's also being found pervasive in the drinking water now as most water treatment plants don't get rid of it.

Nasty chemical, avoid it!

Oh my. That's terrifying, especially about the drinking water. I do love my greek yogurt, but I buy plain unsweetened and stay away from the Yoplait and Dannon which use corn starch to thicken it, not actually making Greek yogurt... Anyhoo. Wow. Well, the gut bacteria could explain a few things for me!

For the most part anyway I only drink water. The only time I "need" a sweetener is with coffee. But I'm gradually moving away from that.

Hint water! It doesn't have junk in it.

Unless you count arsenic, some heavy metals, and some other nasty chemicals...

Or if you don't drink those because you own a Berkey Water Filter!

You think a gravity filter removes ALL of ANY of those? An RO doesn't even...

No of course not all, but in many cases higher than 99% and the company will send you all the lab reports done by Environmental Toxicology Laboratory in South Gate, California, if you'd like to peruse them; you can contact them at Customerservice@newmillconcepts.com

Of the 55 organics tested, only 20 don't have a reduction of over 99.8%:

1) Trichlorotrifluoroethane - over 96%
2) Hexachlorocyclopentadiene - over 90%
3) Lindane - over 98%
4) Methoxychlor - over 90%
5) Molinate - over 96%
6) Simazine - over 98%
7) Thiobencarb - over 98%
8) 2,4-D (which we can expect to see a growing concern over now that Monsanto's glyphosate isn't working and Dow are trying to get their 2,4-D-resistant crops approved) - over 90.1%
9) Dinoseb - over 86.01%
10) Pentachlorophenol - over 96.99%
11) Silvex - over 90.2%
12) Oxamyl - over 95%
13) Carbofuran - over 95%
14) Glyphosate - over 75%
15) Bromoacetic Acid - over 98%
16) Chloroacetic Acid - over 96%
17) Dibromoacetic Acid - over 98%
18) Dichloroacetic Acid - 98%
19) Total Haloacetic Acids - over 98%
20) Trochloroacetic Acid - over 98%

Of the inorganics arsenic is reduced by over 99%, lead by over 97.5%, mercury by over 98%, chlorine by over 87.5%.

Just deleting what I already said because I realized it was on your list already.

Hint water! It doesn't have junk in it.

Not if you drink pool water....has some pretty nasty stuff in it
